Bereavement
Related: About this forumIt was 55 years ago today we were married
My husband passed away 9 years ago, but I observe this special date and feel especially close to him. Easy to think of him, too, because we were traveling. I've been visting our daughter and s-i-l this week and we drove from their home to Maine, for the celebration of life for another loved one. I don't think anyone will notice, or mind if they do that I am subdued. Fits right in with the general mood.
All of us who post here are in a club we didn't want to join.

(12,821 posts)There are good days and not so good days. I know Im not telling you anything new. We were married 51 years when she died. Our anniversary is January 1. Our wonderful granddaughter, husband and her 2 children celebrated that day eating in her favorite restaurant. It was good because we have good memories and funny stories.
It is good that you have your daughter.

Is funny, sometimes I read DU aloud so my husband can hear it.

I have pictures of my husband in almost every room. I talk to him, too. I hear many people do the same.
Be nice to yourself.

They say it gets better. I hope they are right. Until then, I continue to take one small step at a time, trying not to fall.
Knowing that I am not alone in this helps. We're not alone in this.

(4,186 posts)Golden Girls tv show made it look so easy. Do what feels right for you and dont neglect getting a check up. The stress of going through the loss of a loved one can be very hard on the body. I could not sleep at night and my migraines increased until my doctor prescribed a new antidepressant. Took a while, and its not a cure for the grief, but now I can at least get several hours of continuous sleep and feel a bit better.
Take Care.
